SWNOVELS Chapter Desperate shadows (greeds pov)
(Greed's POV)**
The spot where we were meant to meet was empty—a void that sent shockwaves through me, rattling the foundations of my expectations. In place of Aurora, I found Lust, a smirk dancing upon his lips—a sight that ignited a spark of irritation within me. "What are you doing here?" I demanded, my tone sharp with impatience.
Lust's response was as enigmatic as his presence, his words a mirror to my own. "I could be asking you the same thing," he replied, his voice dripping with the essence of his sin. "Came to meet your human lover, did you?" His mocking tone grated on my nerves, fueling the anger that simmered beneath the surface.
My gaze hardened, my eyes locking onto his form. "Where is she?" I demanded, my patience waning with each passing second. Lust's response was nothing more than a shrug—a calculated gesture that spoke of his manipulative tendencies. And then, like a wisp of smoke, he vanished, leaving me with unanswered questions and an escalating sense of urgency.
In the blink of an eye, I too vanished, my determination propelling me to Aurora's apartment. The sight that greeted me was a nightmare—a vision that shattered the boundaries of comprehension. She lay on the floor, unconscious, her fragile form covered in blood—the sight a tableau of despair that stole the breath from my lungs.
My heart thundered, the turmoil within me a tempest that threatened to consume me. Without hesitation, I knelt by her side, my hands gentle as I checked for signs of life. Panic surged through me as I called her name, the desperation in my voice betraying the depth of my feelings.
In that moment, the boundaries that separated our worlds seemed to blur—a collision of two realities that were never meant to intersect. As I gazed down at her fragile form, a vow formed in my mind—an unbreakable promise that I would protect her, that I would unravel the truth behind the chaos that had engulfed her i would bind her to me.
